Finding Long-term Solutions to Commercial Mold Damage in Your Franklin Self Storage Facility 

Mold damage is a severe threat to self-storage facilities. Apart from damaging the structures, it can also ruin the items left by your customers, thus leading to a bad reputation. Unlike other problems, mold can recur easily after removal because the spores are present in almost every environment. Finding a long-term solution, therefore, requires addressing any underlying moisture problems. You can do this yourself or seek professional assistance.

Prevention is the best long-term strategy

Since moisture is the main factor that fuels mold development in Franklin homes, stopping water sources can help provide the long-term protection you need. You can check gutters regularly to ensure they are not clogged or leaky, thus preventing intrusion of rainwater. Redirecting groundwater away from the structure is also essential to prevent seepage into the lower levels of your facility. You can achieve this through simple landscaping the slants the ground around your structure.

Apart from water, the air can also supply the moisture that fuels mold damage, especially if there is limited airflow. At higher temperatures, air tends to hold more moisture so as the temperatures drop, the excess moisture escapes. This appears as condensation on walls, windows, and other surfaces. You can look for ways to facilitate proper airflow within your facility to prevent this problem. Our SERVPRO technicians can use hygrometers to check humidity levels inside and outside your facility, helping you identify problem areas.

Removing Hidden Moisture

Sometimes the moisture that fuels mold growth in your storage facility might not be obvious. If there is a small leak in a pipe concealed behind a wall, you might not notice it. The same is true when there is residue moisture in subfloors. Our SERVPRO technicians can help you identify all traces of hidden moisture using specialized equipment such as FLIR thermal cameras. Once we identify the source, we can do controlled demolition, removing all porous materials affected by the mold and drying the moisture. We also clean the area with antimicrobial cleaning agents to stop further growth.

Mold can be a stubborn problem, but with help from a professional remediation team like SERVPRO of Williamson County, you can find lasting solutions. Call us at (615) 790-9634 any time. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
